Item Description
Attractive, dense coating of rich green micro needles of Malachite, with a small amount of Barite. The Malachite needles average perhaps 1 mm in size, and they grow in lovely spherical clusters. The matrix is heavy, probably Limonite, which is not surprising considering this location is an old iron mine. Good locality piece.
